Lynlee was born August 19, 1960, in Dallas, Texas. She was the daughter of George Harvey and Gwendolyn Scott Brownlee of Lancaster, Texas. Lynlee earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Baylor University and received her Master’s in Education from Texas Women’s University.
She is survived by her son, George Joseph Nicholas of Dallas, Texas; sister and husband, Susan and Don Snowden; nieces, nephews, and many close friends all of whom she loved and touched deeply. Lynlee was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Sarah Brownlee.
Early in her career, Lynlee was employed as an English teacher in both the Carrollton and Plano Independent School Districts. For the majority of her 25-year marriage to George Francis Nicholas, she was a stay at home mom. Most recently, Lynlee was a teacher at the Huntington Learning Center of Austin, Texas.
First and foremost, Lynlee was a dedicated and loving mother who treasured her son George and embraced every moment with him. She had a vivacious personality and always found a way to make people laugh. Lynlee was a great listener and was genuinely interested in hearing what others had to say. During her life she was an avid horseback rider, tennis player and loved English literature.
A trip to Israel had a profound effect in strengthening Lynlee’s faith and love for the Lord. She tried to live as we are instructed in Ephesians 4:32 – “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ”.
The family would like to thank the love of Lynlee’s life, former husband, George F. Nicholas for his caring compassion and immense help in the planning of the service to celebrate Lynlee. His ability to see the needs and his calming demeanor have eased the stress during this exceedingly difficult time.
